DIY Ideas & Inspiration

• Add gemstones decorate the lid and sides of the box for extra sparkle.
• Create a mini paper flower from napkins or craft paper to attach to the lid – see our blog for simple tutorials.

Perfect for Gifting

This craft kit is great for kids (ages 5+ with parental supervision) and adults alike. With the holidays approaching, it’s an excellent project to keep kids happily engaged – and they’ll love deciding who to surprise with their decorated gift box.

Adults will enjoy this project too. Once decorated, the box can be filled with:

• Jewellery
• Small keepsakes
• Cookies, candies, or other treats
• Notes, mementos, or little surprises

Important: If adding edible items, decorate only the lid and outside of the box – avoid painting the inside. Once filled, place the decorated lid on top. You can also wrap it with a pretty ribbon for a charming, handmade gift they’ll treasure.

• 1 square cardboard gift box with lid (approx. 4½” × 2½”)
• Water-based paints in mini paint pots and a paintbrush
• 1 sponge brush
• Gemstones – Assorted shapes and sizes (adult supervision recommended for young children)
• Mod Podge – 2 fl oz. – water-based glue, sealer, and finish
• 1 Alphabet Stencil
• Tip: Protect your workspace by placing a plastic tablecloth or scrap paper underneath your project.
